Core Values

In our desire to reflect God's light as a Biblical community, we value the following:

1.        We value the Bible ... We are committed to the preaching and teaching of God's inspired Word that is relevant to the needs of all people and essential to equipping Christians to follow Christ in every aspect of life. (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 4:2; Ephesians 4:11-12)

2.       We value relationships ... We love people because God loves people. We are committed to creating/fostering community within the church family. (I Thessalonians 4:9; John 13:34-35) 

3.       We value community outreach ... We believe in seizing every opportunity individually and corporately to show and tell the love of Christ in the power of the Spirit to our community. (I Corinthians 2:4-5; Matthew 28:19-20)

4.       We value world missions ... We believe in preparing, sending, and partnering with other believers to show and tell the love of Christ in the power of the Spirit to make disciples throughout the whole world. (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8)

5.       We value worship ... We are committed to gathering together to exalt God by worshipping Him in spirit and in truth. (Psalm 95:1-7; John 4:24)
